According to the Encyclopedia of Arda, Durin's Day falls on October 15th this year, a week from tomorrow. I'm planning a few things: perhaps a marathon watching of LOTR EE's, cooking some hobbity food (Sam's coney stew and some twice-cooked cakes), perhaps even a viewing of the old Rankin Bass chestnut (if I can stomach hearing that horrible song again. And I suppose an offering and a nice toast to our friendly neighborhood thrush at sunset/moonset would be appropriate.

Does anybody else have any suggestions or ideas for celebrating this momentous day? "If you listen closely, you can hear the gods laughing."
